T all whom it' mayicohcernx' Y Be it known thatL'K nm Kbixifa subject of the Emperor of Japan, and a resident 2 of the city and'State of ashington hax 'e invented certain new and'nseful Improvements in Projecting Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

of Seattle. in the county of King My invention relates tot apparatus of the abore ty e, having more, particular *reference to such apparatus designed for the projection of opaque objects, and has for a iunda mental object the provision of a novel mech'anlsm for advancing and suport-ing the slides' or 'plates bearing. the sub- )ect-matter for display.

Qther'objects will be set forth as my dc scriptionprogresses and those -,features of construct-ion; arrangements and 'conibinations of'parts on which I desire protection,

"succinctly. defined in my annexed 'cl'a'im.

' Referring to.

the accompanying drawing is wherein like numerals of reference indicate 25. like 'parts throughoutthe several views :1

. Referringtothe -drawing by numerals of ,posi'tion which, as now suitable through which he form, are conventionally 1 wardly thei'ebeyond reference, 1 vindicates a rotary carrier for advancing the slides 01" plates 2 into the field of display, thei said carrier, being alsoein: ployed to hold the plates i their displaying,

considered is across an opening 3 ofa casing 4:,so that the slides can be covered by the light shafts from a source of light; as lamps 5. Reference numeral -6' indicates the arranged 'opposite opening; 3 and Slides 01' plates mounted in frames.

which latter are each pivotally conn'ec ed with those on either side thereoflln' pintles' 2", engaged in suitable tubular edge extensions 7 offra'mes-Q, as clearly shown 1n. Fig. 2. Every alternate pintle 2"- 1 s of greater; length than the others. the. same having theirend POIllOIlSPlOjQCUIIg outi for engagement with suitable rails or tracks 10, underlying and projecting on opposite sides of rotary carrierluand inclined downwardl; toward the'rear side, thereof, thus permitting the intermediate pairs or": slide frames the bb ee -1 during its'intermittent movement elevates the slides frointhe lower'end port-ionsot'ffi light freflected from a rails 10. theumoves the same in front of slide 2 passes to the screen; not shoe-1n as is Well und'erstood. v

Reference numeral 17 indicates a. belt tak- '80 ingbv'er pulley-s l2 and 12" ofshafts 12. and .18 respectively, andalso over suitable direction sheaves 19 the said shaft; 18; being journaled "in a suitable housing-20, underlying casing '4, and connected with a drive shaft- 21 through a well known-type of gear 111g comprising the-single tooth gem-22 and slotted wheel 23;..the former of which is fixed, to said drive shaft- 21.
